The grand finale of the pageant will be broadcast live on Sunday 13 August following a five-part series, Crown Chasers, which will document the journey leading up to the final moment Miss South Africa 2023 is crowned.

“To the Miss South Africa finalists, open up new worlds, transcend borders and be the best ambassadors you can be for South Africa,” she said, going on to emphasise that the SABC remains the home of events of national importance.”
